Mackinaw City Still Still

This is Saturday August 28th. Well we are still here for another day. Can't complain the marina facility is beautiful, outstanding washrooms, and we are at the base if the main street. We have terrific neighbours - Selah and Trusty III.

Still having trouble getting my communications working the way I would like. Got hooked up onto skype so we can telephone home whenever we want. The telephone we to the other day can now go back to Walmart. I can receive calls and text from Canada but cannot call or text to Canada. Thats no good. Skype will work much better.

I still am struggling with getting my emails on the computer. A little more work there.

We were introduced to "pasties". Basically it is a meat and vegetable pie base wrapped in a flaky pastry. We had these for a very late lunch. On returning to the boat Trusty III invited us for a pot luck dinner on their boat with Selah. We couldn't possibly eat another meal so soon; but said we would join them for cocktails. Shortly after 9:00 pm we were ever so kindly asked to leave because we have a very early start tomorrow. This is going to be the day that we leave Mackinaw City to make the long trek to Harbour Springs. The weather stations are giving us good reports; this is the day we have been waiting for. We hope to be up and leaving by 6 :00 am About a 50 mile trip and will be a very long day - close to 10 hours. This will still be shorter than our day from Hope Island to Killarney.

Will get tucked in for the night to be ready and rested.

Till tomorrow.
